Altavista Web Search Engine
By Larry Smith

For those of you with web access, point your forms-capable browsers to http://www.altavista.digital.com/ and enter the string "automatic music" (including the quotes) and give Digital's new search engine a spin. It pulled up about 100 references that I'm still tracing down. Don't try "music box", almost every nickel-and-dime music store on the net has "music box" somewhere in it's web pages, you get just thousands of responses, none of which, so far, have been real music boxes...but you never know what it will turn up, the engine runs 24 hours a day looking for web pages, new and updated. This is a free service from Digital.

regards,
Larry Smith
